3 Claims. (Cl. 273-96) This invention relates to games and particularformed with a loop l6 which constricts the neck 1y to a game whereby an article is thrown into or throat 8 so that when the chain l moves to the air, an object being to provide a structure the position shown in Fig. 1, spring l3 must move wherein a player may utilize skill and sharpness to one side. When the parts are in the position of his eye in throwing the article into the air shown in Fig. 1 the device may be swung back and then catching the same. and forth even with the balls II and I2 hanging Another object of the invention is to provide downwardly as the loop IE will resist the removal a game whereby a projector formed with a forked of the proj However, y Swinging e destructure is provided for projecting and then vice back and forth and then suddenly stopping i catching the flexible connecting chain or other the same, the power created by the momentum connection between two balls. of the projectile will quickly cause the projectile An additional object of the invention is to to move past loop 16 and swing to one side. provide a projector for projecting chain con- It will be understood that all parts of the nected balls wherein the structure is such that spring l3 loosely fit in body 2 except the mem- 1;, there will be a resilient resistance to the movebers l4 and which are riveted thereto.

A game comprising a projectile provided suitable apertures in the body 2. The outer end with a pair of spaced balls and a chain connectparts of members l4 and I5 are upset or riveted ing said balls, and a projector provided with a so as to readily secure that end of the spring l3 fork for projecting and catching said projectile to the body 2. The opposite or free end is said projector being formed with a body secured to said fork at one end thereof, a flat spring having one end connected rigidly to said body and the other end projected between the tines of said fork, said other end being formed into a loop suificiently large to prevent said chain leaving said fork until the loop has been moved to one side.

- 3. A game comprising a projectile and a projector for projecting the projectile into the air, said projector comprising a wire frame formed with a central section comprising two parallel wire sections, a loop merging at one end into said sections forming a handle, and a pair of spaced substantially parallel tines forming a fork, a body formed of' sheet metal fitting over said sections, said body having front and rear flat panels and looped portions fitting partly around the wires of said sections, and a flat spring having one end secured to said panels near said handle, said spring extending loosely between said panels to a position between said tines, the end extending between said tines being looped to provide a resilient resistance to the movement of 10 said projectile from said fork.
